Airlie Bowls News

Unfortunately, the Ladies Day Bowls on Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon Jackpot Bowls and Business House Bowls were all cancelled due to weather.

Things brightened up for Friday’s barefoot bowl’s and Amando Isgro, our club’s forefather and champion bowler, donated his time to the new bowlers of the club in valuable tips and bowling procedures, leaving many players with a greater understanding of the game.

Saturday morning saw the sun shining and 21 players arrived for John Askew’s newly formatted Scroungers.

First round winners were Warren Mills, Russell Jackson, John Trembath, Merve Stewart, Ash Warland, Karen Jensen and Andy McDougal.

The semi-finalists were Warren ‘Millsie’ Mills and Russell Jackson with Millsie going on to claim the money.

Sunday afternoon saw 29 bowlers competing for the team’s prize and the afternoon tea was delicious.

The runaway winners of the day, led by Shane Spann with lead John Brown and Lu Rogan.
